"My wife gives me her complete salary. It is from her salary that I give her a monthly allowance and take care of the bills.
This was my story before I got a job.
Two weeks into our wedding, I lost my job and my wife automatically became the breadwinner.
I was so down that I could not get a new job immediately, so we survived on her income.
At the end of every month when she collected her salary, she would transfer all the money to my account.
I would be the one to send her some money for her upkeep and some for the home bills.
I would take some of the money and save it. For 2 years, she has been doing that until I finally got a new job.
Never once have we ever quarreled because of money.
Even though I am mostly at home, she still comes back to assist with house chores.
Sometimes I would insist that she should not bother, but she always said she couldn't watch me do all those things.
She always tells me that had it has been I was the one working and she was doing nothing, she was sure I was going to take care of her.
So she still does the house chores.
Throughout that moment, she has never once disrespected me because I was not able to provide for her.
My best moment was when she said, "God gave me this job for both of us, therefore it is our money."
Today, I work with one of the best institutions in Africa, and she is a signatory to all my bank accounts.
Money has never been a problem for us.
It is always "Our Money."
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS.
A story you should learn from.
As a lady, can you do this?
